Come è nato internet (una storia)
How to help workers suffering from AI-related job losses
- Some companies have already laid off employees due to automation and AI. Some research and tech CEOs indicate this will continue to increase.
- Given the scale of these losses, policymakers need to consider how to best support workers, especially those in vulnerable positions or who may lack the resources to fully participate in the digital economy.
- Expanding benefits, loosening job licensing requirements, increasing retraining, and ensuring access to high-speed internet can all help with this transition.

Pair Behind 400 Block-Evading Pirate Porn Sites Face Prosecution
Law enforcement authorities in Vietnam will prosecute the operators of around 400 pirate sites offering pornographic content. Such material is illegal in Vietnam and the authorities say the men made large profits from visitors viewing lucrative advertising. Also of note are claims that the men circumvented blocking measures at ISPs either owned by, or closely connected to, the government.

"They will twist your words. Make them untwistable"

Are you sure you know who Bernie Sanders is
If you think any of this should be said to Zohran Mamdani:
Are you sure you know who Zohran mamdani is?
The real question is why I even replied when I'm sure I know you're a disingenuous troll.
Based on the downvotes in this thread and the other one you posted, it seems no one like your opinion or feigned ignorance. But don't take to mean you're an underground hero, some takes really are just that bad.
☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆ doesn't like this.
Really not sure what the point of your ire is here. And you’re kind of coming off like an ass.
AIPAC and the people they influence are notorious for twisting and misrepresenting rhetoric that’s even slightly critical of the Israeli government. It pays to be extremely deliberate and careful when speaking publicly on those topics. You and I may understand the nuance of Mamdani’s position, but (to be blunt) a lot of more stupid and/or less engaged voters on NYC won’t necessarily have the same reaction. You’ll probably deride me as a “centrist” for saying this, but to ignore the propagandistic influence that AIPAC exerts is essentially an unforced error. So, yes, it is a absolutely good and correct to call out Bibi’s genocidal campaign, but it is a way better idea to do that in a specific, careful, and nuanced fashion, in the interest of minimizing AIPAC’s ability to twist the words into a weapon against him.
This line very specifically implies that Zohran has crossed the line in the past and does not make the correct distinction.
I’m not going to litigate semantics of the English language with you.
In my estimation, you are reading far more nuance into that statement than is either implied or meant directly. I disagree with your evaluation, and I think you’re just trying to pointlessly stir up trouble where there’s not actually a problem.
When you are so infatuated with a politician that you refuse to acknowledge their faults.
Reminds me of a certain red cap folk.
It's a complex issue Bernie is alluding to. There are a lot of Jewish people who think of Israel of sort of "Their place" in the world where they are centered and the controlling stake of culture. People who are raised to think this way feel critism towards the place as an attack on their Jewishness. Those feelings can override and get in the way of treating Isreal as a country, with a political agenda and make it feel as though it were a criticism of Jewish people.
You know that whole "facts don't care about your feelings" thing the right gets on about? It's actually backwards. Feelings do not care about facts and if you don't adequately explain your purpose you can make people feel victimized even when they aren't. Jewish people who feel victimized by critism of Israel are responding to a mix of cultural programming because the idea of Israel is their security blanket. Problem is the security blanket isn't actually securing them from anything, it was just a tool to soothe anxieties about having a place to retreat to free of persecution... and now that the security blanket has been proven to be woven out of asbestos and warcrimes the trauma of prying peoples attachment from it is causing damage amongst a historically persecuted group. This is Bernie's reminder - to be sensitive to the process of individual trauma while detangling them from the genocidal regime it's emotionally fuzed to.
It's not complex at all. It's Nazi-like settler colonialism.
And Zohran already very clearly seperates Zionism and Judaism. Bernie is concern trolling. As is anyone pretending he has a valid point.
Not saying Israel is complex. Dealing with the victims of the propaganda is complex.
Compassion isn't just good praxis, people who fall back on feeling victimized double down on whatever their base investment is. If you want people to accept facts and actually change their minds you have to engage the person's feelings first.

Lastly, Hamas has been very clear, both before its barbaric attack on October 7th and after that attack, that their goal is perpetual warfare and the destruction of Israel. Just last week a spokesman for Hamas, Mr. Taher El-Nounou, told the New York Times, “I hope that the state of war with Israel will become permanent on all the borders, and that the Arab world will stand with us.” I am not quite sure how you negotiate a ceasefire with a terrorist organization that is dedicated to perpetual war.
Holy YIKES at least get a more recent quote instead of "I oppose a ceasefire and want all Palestinians to be killed" Sanders.
In your dream world it does. Again, people are buying your bullshit. You realize the same person you're accusing of being pro Israel is also accused by the Heritage Foundation as part of Project Esther to be part of the "Hamas Support Network"?
The “Hamas Caucus” has support in the Senate from Bernie Sanders (I–VT); Chris Van Hollen (D–MD); Elizabeth Warren (D–MA); and, to varying degrees, several others.

Allenarsi...prepararsi
L'allenamento ci aiuta a prepararci alla gara/evento ma un aspetto che, solo nel tempo emerge è che ci prepara agli imprevisti. La vita è fatta di imprevisti cosi come la corsa. **NO la corsa NON è la vita! **Allenarsi significa essere pronti all'imprevisto a capire e conoscere i segnali del corpo e sapere che si può fare quel passo in più. Se in gara arriva un imprevisto saperlo gestire e andare oltre, per dimostrare niente a nessuno. Ma solo sapere che siamo in grado di essere felici per aver superato la fatica.
If It’s Thursday, It Must Be BSDNow
Yesterday, a new episode of the BSDNow podcast was released.
Episode number 620 — yes, exactly, 620. Since it’s a weekly show, you can do the math and realize just how much dedication its creators, editors, and hosts have put into it. A huge round of applause and thanks to Benedict Reuschling, Tom Jones, Jason Tubnor, and everyone else involved in making this fantastic podcast happen.
BSDNow has been my faithful companion during road trips for many years. And when I’ve had a long day, my wife will ask, “Why aren’t you coming to bed? It’s late!” Then, without waiting for an answer: “Ah right, it’s Thursday.”
And I go: “Of course – there’s a new episode of BSDNow!”
In this episode, Benedict reads my post “The server that wasn’t meant to exist” – not too technical, more of a horror story, but still on topic: the server was running NetBSD.
The Server That Wasn't Meant to Exist
A story from 16 years ago - trust, tech, and a server that had to disappear. They offered me a blank check. I said no.Stefano Marinelli (IT Notes)
‘Lied to their workers’: CBA’s ‘shameful act’ while sacking staff [Deceptive offshoring of hundreds of tech roles]
Other news source: ABC's The Business - youtube.com/watch?v=Q_Pc1U4Rsf…
The [Finance Sector Union] said the roles being advertised by CBA India had the exact same job titles as those impacted by the redundancies."We do not believe that the redundancies outlined in these change processes are in fact genuine redundancies and that in doing so, CBA has breached the terms of the Agreement,” [FSU National Secretary] Ms Angrisano said, pointing out that genuine redundancies mean the role is no longer required. This is the very definition of bad faith.”
“All Australians are paying for the sham redundancy actions of the CBA. Not only are Australian workers being unfairly and reasonably sacked but this is being subsidised by all taxpayers.
“Bona fide redundancies are taxed concessionally in the hands of the workers. It is especially disgusting that the nation’s richest company is also reducing the tax take as it makes the final payment to hundreds of Australians that we know are being sacked solely to have their work performed offshore.”

Linux Users- Why?
(Also extends to people who refuse to use Linux too!)
Every unique Linux Desktop setup tells a story, about the user's journey and their trials. I feel like every decision, ranging from theming to functional choices, is a direct reflection of who we are on the inside.
An open-ended question for the Linux users here: Why do you use what you do? What are the choices you've had to make when planning it out?
I'll go first:
I use OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with the Niri Scrolling Compositor(Rofi, Alacritty and Waybar), recently switched from CosmicDE
I run this setup because I keep coming back to use shiny new-ish software on a daily basis.
I prefer this over arch(which I used for 2 years in the covid arc), because it's quite a bit more stable despite being a rolling release distro.
I chose niri because I miss having a dual monitor on the go, and tiling windows isn't good enough for me. Scrolling feels smooth, fancy and just right. The overview menu is very addicting, and I may not be able to go back to Windows after this!
This was my first standalone WM/Compositor setup, so there were many little pains, but no regrets.
Would love to hear more thoughts, perspectives and experiences!
like this
I use Mint, with little customization.
Mint basically gets out of my way, I care about the ability to get my work done.
I also prefer the windows paradigm rather than the Mac paradigm. IMHO Mint does it better than windows now.

Keep display output when monitor "Disconnected"
I am using a laptop, with a cheaper monitor that only has one hdmi input. I have two devices that I want to use on this monitor, My laptop and my xbox series, so I got an hdmi switcher.
The xbox handles switching to and from it's input without a hitch, but my laptop can takes up to a minute to recognize the switch and display to the monitor, sometimes not recognizing it at all.
I was thinking that having the laptop continue to output the display whether or not it recognizes the monitor as disconnected would help make switching between them more seamless. Is there a way to achieve this?
I am using KDE and I have the "Do Nothing" option selected under close lid in power options.

Ride-hailing giants’ electric promises are stalling worldwide
The biggest ride-hailing companies globally are struggling to keep their electric vehicle promises.In 2020, Uber, the world’s largest ride-hailing company, set a target for all its rides and deliveries to be zero-emission by 2040. As of 2025, only a few hundred thousand out of its 7.1 million drivers have adopted green rides.
Grab, Southeast Asia’s biggest ride-hailing company, is targeting carbon neutrality by 2040. Last year, 7% of all Grab rides and deliveries used low- or zero-emission modes of transport, including electric and hybrid vehicles, cyclists, and walkers.
While Uber, Lyft, and Grab don’t disclose the precise number of EVs in their fleets, each platform has less than 1% EVs globally, research and advisory firm Gartner estimates.
“Even though we have seen immense growth in EV adoption by these companies, it is highly unlikely they will achieve 100% EV adoption in the next decade,” Shivani Palepu, transport tech analyst at Gartner, told Rest of World. Palepu expects the shift to electric to vary “drastically” by region.
